A while back I had to change the forum registration rules so that all folks registering a new forum ID had to have that ID validated by an administrator (me) before they became forum members with full privileges (posting, etc.). This also applies to changing the email address of an existing forum ID (not something I've had a problem with but it came with the validation process for new IDs and I haven't found a way to do one and not the other).
The registration process was changed because we were having too many problems with non-gamers registering IDs then spamming the board (posting spam links, etc.).
This shouldn't affect most of you but if you are a new player to the forums (or a veteran player setting up an alternate board ID or changing an email address) there will now be a delay after you register before you'll be able to enjoy the full privileges of board membership. I'll be notified of all registration requests by the board via email but sometimes it can be difficult to tell when a registration is legitimate.
Accordingly, if you are a new player registering here on the forums (or a veteran setting up an alternate or new ID or changing the email address for an existing ID) please send me an email at my Russ@rollingthunder.com address to let me know and I'll get your registration/change approved right away
Take care and good gaming!
